whose stomachs | examined was insect
food Robins live upon injurious rather
than beneficial insects. Before we inter
fere with nature we want to be sure of our
ground. We should consider IN relati m
To birds, that it is "A matter of great i'm
portance that we make no mistake in
those we protect or destroy
The WOOdpccEerS are very beneficial
birds. They capture d great many borers,
and no other bird or animal can attack
the borer in the tree. The WUUdpeu ker
will iniure fruit to some extent, but IN the
main their injury is very slight, and their
benefit very great
The catDird is generally allowed to be
beneficial. 1t is insect eating and eats
less fruit than the rObbin. Still more so
is this the case with the blue bird. 1t
does almost no injury, and is a great in
sect eater.
The brown thrush is a wood-loving bird,
but comes into wood -bOrdered fields. 1t
is an insect destroyer. rhe bubolink is
not grain eating bird here, but feeds up
on insects ! uhink, as science progresses,
and the nature and habits of birds are
better understood it will be found wise in
this country, rs in England, to protect
and encourage the birds as much as pos
slble, and so greatly increase their num-
bers.
In the discussion which followed, these
facts were brought out;
The English sparrow is best destroyed
by cats, cats also are useful in soaring
robins away from fruits. Poison may
also be used in the case of English spar
row. The humming bird sometimes eats
insects. Orioles eat insects but they also
eat young peas IN the pod. The cedar
birds also eat peas King birds probably
eat bees. 1t is "A question whether wool
peckers do not pierce trees to attract flies
by the sap.
The English lark has been introduced
into America, but it does not survive.
Rose-breasted grosbeaks eat potato bugs
Night hawks and whippowills are very
voracious insect eaters owls destroy
great numbers of mice
The lecture of Prof. Perkins was highly
enjoyed, and his conclusions seemed to he
generally agreed with by all present.
